I love „Deko“ und ich dekoriere alles was rumsteht, vor allem unser Haus, hier ist das alles zusammengefasst
This Sunday is all about getting ready for Valentine´s Day. For me, this means that I am trying out new cake recipes and I also bring up the decorations. For our neighbors this means, free Sunday afternoon cake delivered directly to their house. As I am a big fan of 'dry' coffee cakes, I tried this Cream Cheese Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel.
